Starmer Warns Mass Migration Could Turn Britain into “Island of Strangers”

  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced stricter immigration rules on May 12, 2025, warning Britain risks becoming an 'island of strangers' without tougher border control.
  • Starmer introduced the changes to respond to a recent surge in immigration and to counter electoral gains by Nigel Farage's far-right Reform UK party.
  • The new rules will require higher English proficiency, extend citizenship residency to ten years, restrict low-skilled work visas, and curb employer recruitment of overseas workers.
  • Critics, including Labour MPs Nadia Whittome and Zarah Sultana, migrant charities, and former leader Jeremy Corbyn, condemned Starmer's rhetoric as 'dangerous' and resembling far-right scaremongering.
  • The controversy highlights divisions over immigration, with supporters viewing the measures as restoring control, while opponents warn that the rhetoric risks inflaming racial tensions and scapegoating migrants.
